Single Selections: Sarah McLachlan

Sarah McLachlan - Loving You Is Easy 3/5

With the return of Lilith Fair, Sarah McLachlan found a fitting moment, to release "Loving You Is Easy," from The Laws of Illusions, her first record in seven years. It's hard to avoid the comparisons to "Love Song," by Sara Bareilles, bouncing pianos and the immediately radio-friendly production. But where Bareilles, is bittersweet and full of brass, McLachlan sounds experienced and soft. It's a turn from her more heavy, darker sound. "Loving You Is Easy," finds a familiar upbeat vibe like that of fan favourite "Ice Cream." McLachlan is charming and endearing. Even if it is pure A.C. 40 radio-ready, its a spring record, colourful and perky.
